Benefits of Programme
Event Organisers
For event organisers such a programme provides a cohort of trained and qualified personnel to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of health and safety legislation and it ensures best practice within a growing, but largely unaccredited, field of expertise.
Event Participants
For event participants, it means that 'official personnel' with whom they come into contact have the required skills to help them and to make their participation safe and more enjoyable. It professionalises their experiences at a time when consumer experiences are high.
Volunteers
For the volunteers themselves, it provides the skills and experience to improve employment chances, the increased confidence that results, and with the satisfaction, social interaction of teamwork, and the respect gained from contributing to society. The certification achieved from the qualification offered creates an opportunity for those who require it to go on to further education and training, and provides an incentive to volunteer.
